Description

Wine Cap Puncher - This is an ideal puncher for smaller volume winemaking. Perfect for 20 gallon fermenters.

Our design features a sealed connection where juice cannot travel back up into the handle. We have seen similar models but always passed on selling them because the design had an opening where the 4 metal wires went back into the hollow handle. When juice inevitably did get back up into that space, the punch was done, you could never clean it. Height is 24". Base is 5 3/16" diameter

my grape harvest should yield 3 gallons of wine and this looks like it will do better than my potato masher.

Can I crush grapes or other berries with this? Is it strong enough?
slavnyk on Aug 16, 2023
BEST ANSWER: It is made to punch the grapes to the bottom during primary fermentation, i don't think it would work to press grapes. You need more surface area and more pressure to extract all the liquid.

Cheap quality
This tool lasted 3 years. I probably use it 10 days a year. The "stainless" steel has rusted despite cleaning it before and after use each day.

Hard to clean.
This punch has a lot of gaps and connections that collect berries and skins making it harder to clean and sanitize than a solid disc. However the size is perfect for 6 and 8 gallon pails. Much better than using my 4 foot long punch. I would replace the grate and its "legs" with a solid disc. Also a bit longer wouldn't hurt.

punchdown potato masher
Fantastic price but its so heavy. I am not using it, rather I am still using my light plastic beer stirring tool to punch down the grapes. It is just easier and less surface area to cling onto sanitizer and easier to clean. However, when the grapes are first thawed the heavy tool will be useful.

Works well, but there are a lot of crevices for bacteria to get stuck in…

I just received it but haven't used it. Can say that it is very sturdily constructed and looks like it will work amazing.

Superb punch down tool
Excellent quality. Well made and easy to clean. Used mainly for smaller batches of whole grape must in a 15.9 gallon fermenter. Definitely recommend!
